	I Was Wrong - Nathan Glazer comes to terms with multiculturalism. By James Traub
		Nathan Glazer, the Harvard social scientist and core member of the group known as the New York Intellectuals, appears to be haunted by second thoughts.
		Glazer is the last person one would expect to applaud the kind of ethnic chauvinism and myth-mongering that often go under the name of multiculturalism, and he doesn't.
		Glazer observes that while the multicultural curriculum is being propagated in the name of the new wave of immigrants, the immigrants themselves want to succeed on more or less the same terms as the European newcomers of 75 years ago.

	Nathan Glazer and the Assassination of Affirmative Action
		Glazer's ascent from immigrant poverty to the heights of academe hinged on the access he enjoyed to City College when it was tuition-free.
		Glazer's position is barely distinguishable from the one enunciated, though without liberal gloss, by Dinesh D'Souza in The End of Racism: that the crux of the problem of race is the cultural pathology that riddles the fl community, and the responsibility for repairing the problem rests with fls themselves.
		Glazer chooses to disregard the tomes that have been written debunking the idea of "merit," especially as it pertains to college admissions, and the manifold ways in which "merit" perpetuates racial and class advantage.

	H-Net Review: Richard Williams on We Are All Multiculturalists Now
		Glazer associates this type of multiculturalism with terms such as "cultural pluralism" and "intercultural education" that were in wide use prior to the 1960s.
		Glazer's reliance upon a "we" curiously lacks an explicit "they," but that is implicitly supplied by the negation of each of the strains of his "we." Glazer can thus be seen as operating with a civil discourse that structures categories of persons into the included and the excluded.
		Glazer's reliance upon a "we" and an implied "they" is thus an act that fits neatly into the codes reflecting the ideals of purity and problems of impurity that are quite familiar in the culture.

		Nathan Glazer admits in the film that their position was not "honorable" but, shrugging his shoulders, questions whether any other position was possible given their political evolution.
		While Glazer was opposed to the ban on political tabling on campus in 1964, he was even more opposed to the student sit-ins that were meant to overturn the ban.
		Both he and Glazer could not understand that the student radicals of the 1960s had little interest in the sort of scholastic wrangling that had marked their own undergraduate political career.

	Affirmative Discrimination
		Glazer points out that Affirmative Action, even though it is supposed to benefit "minorities," does not mean preference for minorities in general -- all people are members of some minority -- but only for certain arbitrary groups.
		Glazer asks why these groups, and no others, should be the beneficiaries of Affirmative Action, and finds no rational answer.
		Glazer presents a strong argument that governmental requirements for Affirmative Action are illegal.

	We Are All Multiculturalists Now:Glazer, Nathan:067494836X:eCampus.com
		He offers an incisive account of why we all - advocates and skeptics alike - have become multiculturalists, and what this means for national unity, civil society, and the education of our youth.
		Glazer argues cogently that multiculturalism arose from the failure of mainstream society to assimilate African Americans; anger and frustration at their continuing separation gave fl Americans the impetus for rejecting traditions that excluded them.
		But, willingly or not, we are all multiculturalists now, Glazer asserts, and his book gives us the clearest picture yet of what there is to know, to fear, and to ask of ourselves about this new identity.

		Glazer, professor of education and social structure emeritus, coauthored The Lonely Crowd along with Reuel Denney and was also co-author of the book’s sequel Faces in the Crowd (1952).
		Glazer said that one of the most interesting things about Riesman is that he came to sociology late and in an atypical manner.

	Let Them Eat Multiculturalism
		But for Glazer, "when one finds affirmative action encompassed in multiculturalism, one feels that the malleability of words has been taken to a useless extreme." Maintaining this categorical distinction is crucial to his argument.
		Glazer has not adjusted to "affirmative discrimination" and he is not asking his readers to.
		Glazer may mention the "assimilationist" vision of Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, but he forgets that their rhetorical appeals asking Americans to live up to their creed demanded that Americans rewrite the texts of the white republic.

		Several weeks ago, the eminent Harvard sociologist Nathan Glazer, one of the renowned New York intellectuals chronicled in the film "Arguing the World," came to town for a lecture and seminar at UCLA.
		The question that Glazer raised in his appearance in Los Angeles reflected the trajectory of his own life, which has moved between the poles of a progressive and a neoconservative political stance: namely, how are the persistent liberal proclivities of American Jews to be explained?
		Glazer suggested that there is not, that Jewish liberalism was but a reflection of "the living interests and values of living Jews," in his words.

		Glazer now believes he was mistaken to think that African- American integration would follow the pattern of European- American assimilation -- mistaken to think that, as Irving Kristol's 1966 essay put it, "The Negro Today Is Like the Immigrant Yesterday."
		Glazer even thinks he was wrong to argue, in Affirmative Discrimination (1975), against further government incentives to foster integration.

	Filling In the Gaps in the Rosenberg File - October 5, 2005 - The New York Sun - NY Newspaper
		In 1956, the young sociologist Nathan Glazer was asked by the social-democratic New Leader magazine to undertake a study of the controversial trial and execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, who had been convicted of "conspiracy to commit espionage" and sent to their deaths in June 1953.
		Glazer zeroed in on Joel Barr and Alfred Sarant, two friends of Julius Rosenberg who had been all but ignored by the press and by the couple's defenders and critics alike.
		Glazer concluded with these words: "The story that has not been told is of espionage more extensive than we know." The key, he thought, lay in finding out the truth about Rosenberg's two missing friends.

		In 1975, Glazer published Affirmative Discrimination: Ethnic Inequality and Public Policy, a book in which he attacked affirmative action and decisively broke with contemporary liberalism.

	Salon Feature \| Buying false racial peace
		In the '70s, Glazer had delighted conservatives by leading the charge against preferences; now he said he'd changed his mind.
		Glazer's recent book, "We Are All Multiculturalists Now," is even weaker (I panned it myself in the Times on April 27, 1997), but no matter: Liberalism needs an apostle.
		If anything, policy intellectuals like Yoo and Glazer confirm liberals' membership in Lind's "overclass." Even more troubling, the elite consensus in favor of preferences is deeply fatalistic, if somewhat disingenuous, about fls' capacities and prospects -- and dismayingly fainthearted about undertaking any social and moral initiatives that might really reduce fls' measured deficiencies.

	Salon \| Sneak Peeks
		all you know about Nathan Glazer is that, in 1965, with Irving Kristol, he founded the Public Interest -- the intellectual flagship for disillusioned liberal policy wonks everywhere, the prime incubator of neoconservative social thought -- then the title of his new book is apt to sound darkly ironic, verging on the sarcastic.
		But Glazer himself describes his own trajectory as that of a mild radical who turned into a mild conservative.
		Previously, Glazer assumed that every ethnic group started out in some kind of enclave or ghetto, moved providentially through the phases of assimilation and eventually found its way, at last, to the suburbs and the board rooms in representative numbers.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Irish Stew
		According to Nathan Glazer and Daniel P. Moynihan, who in Ethnicity: Theory and Experience have collected sixteen essays by different authors on various aspects (both theoretical and empirical) of ethnicity, the world is becoming more ethnic.
		Glazer and Moynihan neglect to mention the relative ease with which a state can co-opt and control an oppressed and potentially troublesome group once they are convinced they must fight for their own sliver of the pie rather than join ranks with other hungry people.
		More difficult to accept is their contention that the success of an ethnic group depends on its "socially established values," that groups end up at the bottom of the social ladder because their beliefs and attitudes are different from those of the leaders of society.

		On the second page of this article, Glazer suggests that the advent of a "strivers" score reflects the dogged commitment of academic institutions to admit a higher number of of fl and Hispanic students than their "academic promise" would alone warrant.

		Once long ago I noticed the great disparity between what theology and religion students were expected to know to write their theses—Latin, Greek, Hebrew, a few modern languages—and where they ended up: teaching religion, not a very high-prestige subject, for modest rewards, in minor liberal arts colleges.
		But he is not optimistic about any prospective change in the present situation, in which education for itself, for its own sake, is not the motivating force in the system.
